Jesus Our Hope

I Timothy 1:1 Paul is writing to pastors by the commandment of Jesus Christ. To Timothy specifically. When you hear the word, believe the word, then BE the word. If not you become a hypocrit (hindering the word). Colossians 1:27 Hope of Glory. As we grow in Christ we understand more clearly that before was a mystery. Teachers should still have the need to be taught. Remember: People hear with their eyes. Colossians 2:6 When you receive Christ walk in him. Our Lord, our Master purchased us with a price, he has the power to control us, but gives us free will. We are offered a choice good or evil, death or life. Co-operate with the Christ in YOU the Holy Ghost is in control. When we yield to him we are walking in our true destiny. Remember: The Lord established our end BEFORE our beginning. Nothing we go through is a surprise to the Lord. v7 concerns Faith with Thanksgiving (can not have Hope without Faith). v8 reveals HIS will to those who love him. Christ in our hearts is our hope in glory. In order to have everything that God has for you, first yiou must walk upright, have strong faith, have Christ in your heart, practice the word and hide it in your heart that you may answer correctly AND humbly when asked why you have hope in the midst of whatever you may be going through. Paul and Timothy teach the word, based ON the word. For what God said then, he's saying today and will say the same tomorrow. HE DOES NOT CHANGE. Our Hope is centered in Christ by our faith. Our labor is not in vain, stand on the word of God. For he says, that he places his word above his name. Remember: all the devil can do is tempt us, for sin is pleasurable for a season. But the wages of sin is death.
Confess the sin. Repent. And God offers Grace & Mercy.
Stand, Pray, Speak, Live the word.
